chassisEnable

Enables all user ports in a chassis.

Synopsis chassisenable

Description Use this command to enable a Virtual Fabric-aware chassis. All Fibre Channel ports that passed the

power-on self test (POST) are enabled. They may come online if connected to a device, or remain

offline if disconnected. Use chassisEnable to re-enable the chassis after making configuration

changes or running offline diagnostics.

If the chassis is partitioned into multiple logical switches and physically connected to multiple

logical fabrics, the logical switches rejoin their fabrics.

As each port is enabled, the front panel LED changes from slow flashing amber to green for online

ports, or to yellow for ports that do not initialize. Disconnected ports remain unlit. Loopback ports

are slow flashing green when online.

Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may

be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command

Availability" for details.
